With everything else in shambles because Dickless J Trump, I feel like the absolute obliteration of property values (but no reduction in tax value assessments) is easily getting lost in the mix.

And Congress is doing nothing but making grossly inaccurate statements trying to oin this on the protestors that even the LAPD says are peaceful. @sanders.senate.gov: that messaging from your office is disgraceful and divorced from reality.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

The worst part is that the legislature and courts, arguably best suited for immediate checking and balancing, are generally responding by offering their bellies.

It's actually Chris Murphy and the other Dem Senator's JOB to spend their time explaining what's in the bill. They should do that 24/7. It is ALSO their job as people who understand how the Senate works to share with regular people their PLAN for how they are going to put sand in the gears.

I don’t know — I’m growing pretty hoarse yelling for them to do their GD jobs. Even had to order new keyboards from typing it so hard these few months.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

And still I have seen no attempt to rein in this gross, unconstitutional, unconscionable, and very, very impeachable behavior by the legislature. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov : you are supposedly leaders, yes? Then LEAD and do your GD jobs!

As a veteran, they are wantonly and brazenly violating rather basic training on their oath to support and defend the Constitution, as well as their duty to refuse illegal and/or immoral orders.

The fact that insurrectionists who attempt to topple a democratically elected government are referred to as victims and then granted pardons by the greatest, least successful president in American history is peculiar. And again. Odd.

White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

Thank you, @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. Unfortunately, Congress seems all too inclined to abdicate their duties to do anything more than the purely performative (a la @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social).

ICE raids in Los Angeles today are becoming more and more militantized... All this armed force for immigrants committing a civil offense According to the ACLU: "Mere undocumented presence in the United States alone is not a crime under federal law." ACLU website 👇👇 www.aclu.org/sites/defaul...

Sounds like Pete Hegseth is saying that he doesn’t understand his constitutional restraints and is overeager to violate them. Where are the impeachment hearings for these cabinet seats that never should have been confirmed in the first place @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @booker.senate.gov and co?

Some politicians excel at speaking at the right time or putting on performative acts. Don’t pay attention to those. Pay attention to when they stay silent and for how long. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social - going to do more than condemn? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @booker.senate.gov, etc?

Shouldn’t that read, “Trump unconstitutionally and illegally mobilizes National Guard to violate Posse Comitatus Act and 1st Amendment rights”? NAL — let me know.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

When a Blackhawk helicopter brings weapons and ammunition to a battle, you expect that “battle” not to be against our own.

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?
